You can copy your profile folder and move it to a more convenient location – even to another computer on the network or a NAS box if you wish. default with a random 8 character text string beforehand. Your profile folder will be different from system to system, but follows the same basic structure of “ XXXXXXXX.Name“. You can quickly access the profile location by using the “ Run” command from the Start Menu, or by pressing “ Windows Key + R” and typing in the following: In my example, I’ll be using Windows XP and Windows 7. Unfortunately, the full path isn’t going to be similar between OSes, but Mozilla keeps a tidy list of locations on its support site. The first thing to do is to locate your current profile. Fortunately, a method available not only allows you to move your mail and profile settings with relative ease, but also share it, allowing multiple clients access to the same profile, regardless of the OS or computer on a given network. Problems arise, however, when it comes to moving the client to a new computer, whilst keeping all of the settings and mail intact. So, where available, I like to use a dedicated mail client like Mozilla’s Thunderbird. Trying to manage multiple accounts and setting up all of the forwarding and filters can be a tedious process… not to mention a slow one at times due to the sluggish behavior of the browser. Although I see its uses, I’m not a fan of webmail.
